CASE STUDIEs

hands-on funding, product development and business optimization

We have helped a small Finnish printing house to secure funding for development of new long waited product. After knowing better their plans we were also able to create funding roadmap – list of funding available to support
specific works they planned. We also supplied them with descriptive application templates for their next step.

The same time we optimized their business sourcing some materials on better prices, getting new subcontractors and contacts for better logistics deals and advising on how to use some digital tools to help in making operations
more efficient.

That’s not all! We were able to identify unique innovation in the project, we prepared the application and in the result the project was fully funded by Business Finland – this one month long advisory process was 100% free
for the customer!
